I would like to share about a little about a poor family that loves their Father in Heaven.
This poor family does not have much, but often has enough to live. They are in debt from terrible things that happened to them, primarily from people abusing them. But, they persevere. This poor family Loves the Lord, and tries to live the Lord's Gospel in all they do. Sometimes people come to them, asking for help.
The people asking want money or food or whatever they can get. Often, the people asking for money have a better life than this poor family. But, instead of judging, the poor family gathers together to see if they can go without eating for a while, so they can help those who are asking. The poor family often gives until they cannot afford their own medications or necessities. They give until they have to borrow from others themselves! This has gone on for years.
I looked into a few of these people who were begging. I went to see their homes, and their lifestyles. Many have shelter, vehicles, food, clothes, cell phones, and even jobs. They were living a better life than this poor family, from whom they were begging!
Yet, this poor family still gave. All because they loved the Lord, and loved their fellow man as the Lord loves. I can imagine the smiles and tears running down the faces of their Heavenly Parents. This family will be welcomed Home!
What will the experience be of those who have so much more, and yet do not share?
They think that just because they are loved by the Lord, that they will be accepted the same as the poor families who love as the Lord loves? The Lord loves everyone fully, but not everyone loves as the Lord loves! Eternal Life is offered to those who lay down their lives and love like the Lord loves. For ONLY those who love like the Lord loves can go where the Lord is.
